Perl::T...ve::Lib(3)

🌸 Perl::T...ve::Lib(3) 🌸

okay so bestie, sit down, hydrate, we're doing man page book club 🫶 today's pick is Perl::T...ve::Lib(3), filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation — she's tiny, she's specific, and she's going to tell you about exactly one (1) thing. no notes. 💅

---

✨ get_parsers ✨

The following parsers are defined by this module. That's it, that's the whole sentence, she said what she said 😌

🎀 uselib_line 🎀

Parse a use/require lib line — and unshift the libraries it finds onto @INC. front of the line always, main character energy fr 👑

---

then comes the part where the page goes full chaotic-good: a whole chunk of commented-out code, reproduced here exactly the way the page renders it, wrapping and all. every single line is #-commented, so it's giving ✨archived✨ not ✨runnable✨:

#package Perl::Tags::Tag::Recurse::Lib; # #our @ISA =
qw/Perl::Tags::Tag::Recurse/; # #=head1 "Perl::Tags::Tag::Recurse::Lib"
# #=head2 "type": dummy # #=head2 "on_register" # #Recurse adding this
new module accessible from a use lib statement to the queue.  # #=cut #
#package Perl::Tags::Tag::Recurse; # #sub on_register { #    my ($self,
$tags) = @_; # #    my $name = $self->{name}; #    my $path; #    my
@INC_ORIG = @INC; #    my @INC = #    eval { #        $path = locate(
$name ); # or warn "Couldn't find path for $module"; #    }; #    #
return if $@; #    return unless $path; #    $tags->queue( {
file=>$path, level=>$tags->{current}{level}+1 , refresh=>0} +); #
return; # don't get added #}

and then she just... ends it. a lone ## and then the legendary 1; — the return value said 💖 and honestly? same.
